DJ Shoben graduated from SoundKontrols DJ Academy on Oct 2010
DJ Shoben- “After completing the DJ classes at the academy under the training of MCDave, I was confident to be able to mix any genres using Vinyls & CDJs. I no longer contend myself to only mix New Skool. I can spin Old Skool to New Skool to House or any other genres. I was trained in class and clubs to ensure I am ready for the real deal. Thanks a million to MCDave for his guidance”.
DJ Mnjt graduated from SoundKontrols DJ Academy on Nov 2010
DJ Mnjt- “I did not know I can spin Vinyls. After I joined SoundKontrols DJ Academy, I found out it was easy to spin and mix with Vinyls. In comparison with using CDJs, I still prefer using the Vinyls and Traktor to mix my songs. SoundKontrols DJ Academy provided me the platform to spin in clubs and not just in studio. Salute to MCDave and Thank you.”
DJ Kesh graduated from SoundKontrols DJ Academy on Dec 2010
DJ Kesh- “First and foremost, my big Thank you to MCDave for his guidance all the way since my first class. I am ready to spin at any clubs or events simply because of the technique and art of mixing which was taught to me by MCDave. I also learned how and what to speak on the mic as a DJ. All my Love to MCDave.”
DJ Takiya graduated from SoundKontrols DJ Academy on Dec 2010
DJ Takiya- “From the time I was a teenager, I always dreamed to become a PRO DJ. Finally my dreams came when I met my Guru MCDave. He was very strict and meticulous and followed everything in the syllabus. Mixing Old Skool was never easy for me, but I have mastered the Old Skool and now New Skool and House is a walk int he park for me. I learned more from MCDave and he was never selfish with his knowledge which expands over 20 years. Thank you Guru!!”
DJ BlackIce graduated from SoundKontrols DJ Academy on Feb 2011
DJ BlackIce- “I learned more in 6 weeks doing the DJ 102 – Advanced Mixing at SoundKontrols DJ Academy than all the years I have been spinning. The techniques of Advanced Mixing I learned will take me to a new level of DJing and set myself apart from the other DJs in town. The Advanced techniques learned is similar to how the worldwide PRO DJs use like Tiesto, David Guetta, Armin Van Buuren, Luciano, Richie Hawtin and other big DJs across the world. I never knew that I could learn different ways of mixing and using an external MIDI Controller is just one way, but there was more which I learned from MCDave. I strongly recommend this Academy to anyone who is serious about learning how to DJ be it a beginner or an experienced DJ. Learning is never ending journey and I am glad I made that choice to learn from MCDave. Thankssss a Million !!!”
DJ Sam graduated from SoundKontrols DJ Academy on March 2011
DJ Sam- “As a beginner, I enrolled in other DJ Academy prior to joining SoundKontrols DJ Academy. I found Professionalism with the way they taught me. They provided me with course notes, books, DVDs and a Final Exam before I was given the Certificate of Completion. It shows their seriousness teaching students 1 to 1 as well as teaching every aspect, both theory and practical. I learned more in 3 weeks at SoundKontrols DJ Academy than 8 weeks at my previous DJ Academy. I am really satisfied with every class and did not know that there was so much about DJing than just beat matching and mixing. Both DJ For Beginners and Advanced Mixing classes took me to greater heights and gave me the confidence to speak on the mic. I would strongly recommend SoundKontrols DJ Academy who is serious and passion about learning how to DJ the Old Skool way. Everything MCDave taught was very precise and accurate with fine details. Once again, a BIG THANK You to MCDave”
DJ Jack graduated from SoundKontrols DJ Academy on May 2011
DJ Jack- “Before coming over to SoundKontrols DJ Academy, I enrolled myself at another DJ Academy in town. However, after 8 weeks, I have yet to learn much besides doing the same day in day out. Frankly, I was disappointed and almost gave up before I met MCDave. After starting the first class I realize there was so much I learned in 2 weeks as well as eliminated some of the steps which are not required which was taught to me in a very precise and methodological way for easy understanding. I am extremely happy that I was able to pursue my dream to be a DJ and learn from a good Guru, MCDave. Hats off to MCDave. ”
DJ Dharwin graduated from SoundKontrols DJ Academy on August 2011
DJ Dharwin- “I love music but because I am only 8 years old, there isn’t any DJ Academy in Malaysia or Singapore who was willing to teach me. I got to learn the art of mixing from MCDave who was extremely patient with someone my age. I have a lot to learn, but for a start I am happy with my classes and the syllabus which was customized for me. A Big Thank you to my teacher MCDave”.
DJ Sugar graduated from SoundKontrols DJ Academy in September 2011
DJ Sugar- “I was blessed to have met MCDave who taught me every detail on the art of mixing. Coming from another Academy where I did not gain any knowledge what so ever. I learned more in a day at SoundKontrols DJ Academy than 2 months at my previous Academy. I also got the opportunity to meet other students from other academies who has similar faith as me and joined SoundKontrols DJ Academy to learn it professionally. MCDave’s knowledge and training on the mic has given me the confidence to learn scratching and beat juggling in coming months. I can strongly vow and recommend SoundKontrols DJ Academy who runs the academy with proper syllabubs and course notes which you will never find anywhere else. Kudos to MCDave !!!”
DJ Jos graduated from SoundKontrols DJ Academy in October 2011
DJ Jos- ” After spending months looking around for a good DJ Academy, I finally found an Academy which is equipped with state of the art equipments and also a comprehensive curriculum for beginners and professionals. It is never too late to learn how to DJ and with the amount of knowledge from MCDave, I was overwhelmed, yet satisfied that I joined an Academy that focuses on everything from art of mixing, DJ grooming, DJ profile, DJ Marketing and also how to be confident to speak on the mic. Most of the other academies I have visited lack the above and they don’t spend time to teach the soft skills which are essential to become a PRO DJ. I will strongly recommend to anyone who is keen to learn more than just the art of mixing or scratching. It’s a total package at SoundKontrols DJ Academy. I would like to thank MCDave for teaching every bit of this industry. Thanks MCDave.”

DJ Jonathan will graduate from SoundKontrols DJ Academy in February 2012
DJ Jonathan - “I was highly recommended to SoundKontrols DJ Academy by my friend DJ Blackice who was also a former student. I saw his performance as a different DJ than what he was before and when I asked him how did u obtain these PRO Skills, he smiled and told me he went to an Academy to learn it. The Academy he referred too was none other than this Academy. I was able to mix as a beginner, but after just attending 2 classes with MCDave, I could beat match immediately. It was the technique that was taught which allowed me to grasp in less than 4 hours in total. This was a big milestone for someone like me who did not know where my mistakes were. Enrolling in DJ 102 – Advanced Mixing taught me more than just mixing 2 songs together. I wanted to perform as an entertainer more than just being another DJ in town. DJ 102 Advanced Mixing taught in depth about DJing, DJ profile, DJ Business and how to use the Mic confidently. I am glad that to be part of this Academy who teach more than just mixing. I strongly recommend this Academy to anyone be it beginner or Pro DJs who wants to take their skills to the next level. There is no end to learning and I believe there is more to learn in the coming years.

MJ SUREN
On 17th June a huge fan of Michael Jackson, S. Surendran was born in Kuala Lumpur. Music played a large part in his life and no artist more so than the “King” himself Michael Jackson. Since the tender age of 5 Suren began to emulate the “King of pop” displaying an incredible natural ability to perform MJ’s signature moves. He learned to reproduce every move and vocal vibration of the icon as he was a hardcore fan. He began to perform to Jackson’s songs from his childhood throughout his adolescence.
His talent caught entertainment & talent companies’ attention and they approached his parents, which were turned down by his responsible parents quoting “first he should concentrate and finish his education for the benefit of his future”. His parents were very supportive of his dream, but they did not encourage him to engage in an entertainment life full time during his education period. In this era of his teens Suren balanced his performance and studies through keeping his performance as part time, consequently satisfying his parents. He danced his heart out in every show opportunity and practiced even harder to recreate the MJ experience.
This sparked the enthusiasm in Suren to be an all round professional entertainer like his idol. While completing his education during his youth Suren won numerous competitions e.g. Look Like a Star in Hankyu Jaya, Taman Maluri MIC youth talent show, Church of Christ Talent Show, The MJ Dance Competition in Plaza Ampang City and etc.(Earning him the title MJ Suren or Suren Jackson)
Once Suren completed his education and ventured into his adulthood he began impersonating MJ professionally and became a true Michael Jackson tribute artist. MJ Suren a devoted fan blessed with the same height 5 ft. 10” and innate inexplicable physical similarities as the “King of Pop” himself. He utilizes these attributes in concurrence with up to date makeup, perfect costume replication, exact MJ attitude and ground breaking dance movements to reproduce the “King of pop” experience. “The stage has been the most comfortable place to reinvent my passion and the best way I could express my feelings” according to MJ Suren. Prior to Michael Jackson’s untimely death, MJ Suren has performed as a Michael Jackson tribute artist for more than 12 years professionally. He has performed all over Malaysia including Sabah & Sarawak for uncountable events from weddings to birthdays, night clubs to hotels, corporate dinner to open air shows. He was booked for multiple road shows by Telekom Malaysia for more than 2 months each time. MJ Suren is one of the 3 MJ impersonators hired by Astro to do a tribute on Michael Jackson’s 25th Anniversary of Thriller which aired in Astro. He was also covered by the local newspaper “The Star” for his performance on a New Year’s Eve at Bangsar village. He even performed alongside Malaysia’s well known artist’s Francisca Peters, One Nation MC, Fabulous Cat, Darkey from “The keys” and so many others. MJ Suren won numerous competitions as a MJ tribute artist e.g. Be a Star Competition in Summit, Michael Jackson Tribute Competition in Brem Mall, Michael Jackson Dance Competition in KL Central. He undertakes charity shows each year for different types of organizations and performs for underprivileged children with the intention of seeing a smile on their faces.
Since Michael Jackson’s tragic passing, MJ Suren has become one of the most respected and sought after Michael Jackson tribute artist in Malaysia, performing several memorial shows throughout the country. Even though there has been quite a number of shows flowing in, MJ Suren and his management team makes sure each show is designed to cater the expectation of the client and is performed as perfectly as possible. MJ Suren is a perfectionist trying to do justice to Michael Jackson and his performance. The goal of MJ Suren is to accurately portray Michael Jackson from his “he he” right down to his moonwalk.
